the people in hong kong. do not. do not like the. filings. they have you try to protest. you know and also hong kong. but here as we are there no one is mentioning that extradition bill anymore and stand there talking about safety and violence has the focus of these protests shifted. well some people still do mention the extradition bill from time to time but it's true you do not see these these slogans against the extradition bill that much anymore people are still angry that the government has shelved this bill but not with drawn but now they're focusing more on what has happened in the last few weeks because many people see this police brutality what they perceive as excessive police brutality as a symbol of how hong kong is governed and how their voices are heard so this is about the relationship between the hong kong government that is a government at the will of beijing and the hong kong people and the police is in the middle of that the police have become a symbol of the violence that people perceive t

hong kong. these protesters fight for their freedoms. hong kong. these protesters fight for theirfreedoms. we hong kong. these protesters fight for their freedoms. we will see what unfolds in the coming hours and days. you are watching special coverage on bbc news. you're watching beyond 100 days. police clash with pro democracy protestors in hong kong. demonstrators used a more aggressive approach this time as they took over a key government building. police have entered the parliament building to take back control and clear the protesters. the protestors smashed their way into the building — hundreds then entered and occupied the legislative council, our correspondent was on the scene. graffiti daubed on this particular desk. a computer screen that's been ripped up, papers removed. there's been extensive damage done to the building, with portraits of political leaders torn from the walls and furniture smashed. this situation is out of control and this is very dangerous, both for the protesters and for the security guards and the police. hello a

kong or away in hey there from hong kong thanks for that. and here's katrina you in beijing with more on the chinese government and how it's reacting. chinese state media have begun broadcasting reports about the events of last night in hong kong but we're seeing very different pictures on chinese state media compared to what we saw on other channels for example the chinese state media broadcast very much focused on kerry land very much focused on her condemnation of this violence and also focused on what the hong kong police have said probably criminal acts committed by these protesters beijing has very much said that they're going to back any investigation in any prosecution or pursuit of prosecution of of possible crimes that took place last night now here in china this is very much of the point of view that beijing is trying to get across that that these are not brave daring protesters who are frustrated these are fact probably just dogs and to emphasize that message what we did see here on chinese state media on 2 papers here english la

control over hong kong because hong kong is not controlled probably it would go on an independent city. and let me put these points to you emily lie that the says. this is this is an identity issue rather than the extra bit they actually. per say do you think that younger hong kong or so feeling less chinese and this is this is a wider pushback against. against a perceived oppressor. well i think it is an identity issue yes but the fear of being sent for trial in mainland china is real whether it is the youngsters or their families or other political dissidents who could be the target of this spill it's a concern of many people including the young and of course the young people who are also very very much put off by presidency chin paintings absolutely no respect for rule of law for human rights and look at the situation in seeing junk over a 1000000 people being locked up like that and also look at the human rights lawyer is the human rights defenders in china and there are many of them suffer a lot and so when the young people here young and old when they see the appalling situation
